The last boss in Tales of Vesperia, kind of.
The Tales series does this a lot, actually. But in Vesperia the last boss is gooder than most.

Gwynn, either. Though it depends on your perspective.
Does Pokemon count?
Infamous Second Son
Maybe Brooke Augustine counts seeing as her intentions were more or less pure according to that flashback.
Phantasia did this way back when with Dhaos.
Life on Derris-Kharlan, his home planet, is sustained by a world tree, and it died after being exploited too heavily by some warring factions. So he travels through space to Aselia to acquire a seed from Aselia's own world tree, Yggdrasil in the hopes of creating a new source of mana for his own planet. Unfortunately, Aselia was undergoing the same industrialization that killed the tree on Derris-Kharlan, and he orchestrated a war in order to halt the process.

Spoiler tags, how do they work?The final boss inwas a good guy for most of the game, until he just stops being part of your party with no explanation and you don't see him at all until you fight him.The Last Story
You could say most Tales final bosses fall into this category, or at least have good intentions in mind.
DmC?
The final boss isif I remember correctly.Vergil
....
DmC has an awkward "he was actually bad the whole time" thing that turns him into the final boss. It's forced as hell and kind of ruins Vergil in that game.
These two:
Saturos and Menardi from Golden Sun. Born and bred heroes they are, just a bit lacking in the PR department.
Metal Gear Solid 3, 4 and arguably 2.
Pretty much all of them except for Red/Blue/Yellow where you face off against Blue, and Black/White where you face off against Ghetsis at the end.
The credits roll after you beat Ghetsis in Black and White.And, technically, the "end boss" of the Pokémon games has to be the Champion of the Elite Four, since the credit rolls after you beat them.
SOLIDUS WAS RIGHT
[Metal Gear Solid 2]
Yeah, and it seems like he had some good points because his purpose was IIRC to...Well Letho isn't bad, but he isn't definitely a good guy too.. he is a neutral, gray character
